Read it again, and then think about how stupid the thing was you just said.

Right, so less just recommend a retic as a beginner snakes since for YOU they have the same charactheristics.
Don't think you get what I'm saying..

I'll say it again:

I believe -- yes, my opinion, like you pointed out -- that the reasons you all give to support your point that ball pythons are beginner species also apply to some of the advanced species.

I'm not saying retics are beginner snakes; actually, that's exactly my point. Some of the "beginner snake" characteristics Ball Pythons have also apply to retics..actually a lot of them.
